He had no choice. There were enough votes that a veto would be meaningless. And it would look really really bad. Government in some respects is like war or a game of chess. The move made by the Senate on the day that the news came out about Trump Jr. is that day that the Senate voted to increase sanctions 98-2. Also the day that both senators McCain and Graham voiced the opinion that they were starting to doubt Trump's ability to lead.

After the fact actions by Trump that had been forced by Congress based upon new information (specifically Trump Jr. and the meeting June 2016) proves nothing as far as I am concerned.

I also recall Sally Yates who voiced the opinion in congressional hearings and later in interviews that her primary concern was that unnamed individuals had compromised themselves with the Russians and in doing so had set themselves up for possible intimidation and/or blackmail.

Course she was fired. She is also a Republican. Like Comey who is a Republican. Both persons with character and a deep sense of professional code of conduct. That rises above politics and party.

By the way, I refuse to post on the other thread. What Trix and Bullseye had to say is insulting and responding only dignifies their schtick.
